Rejection

*I'm experimenting with rhythm and trochee, so to anyone who has experience with it, nit-picks would be greatly appreciated!*

Rejection

I came upon the words of naught
sought out on one, a selfish thought-
to rid the sorrows of the flesh,
free of my untimeliness.
On somber days one came to call
someone so handsome, fresh from hull-
I spoke in rush and gentle hush-
words fall spiritless at first blush.

Is it not this weak word, bitter sputter,
a sad attempt fallen from my cracked lip,
The blood spitting out my despairing woe-
oh! your biting, cruel words, how they do slash
Creating ever-bleeding, open gash
by virtue of your words resting bitter
crushed determination behind my eyes,
Leaving more room for your heart to despise.

Spoiler

My ending is a bit weak, so any suggestions on that would be great, as well! Thank you!

It is a good piece....
You don't need to give hyphens when you are breaking one line into two it isn't necessary....
The ending is quite good.... I don't see any problem in it....
Keep writing...
PM me for anything...

You don't need the hyphens in this piece.
I really liked all of the detail
The ending, in my opinion was good, not weak.
overall this was outstanding!
keep up the good work!

Hi! here for your contest winning review!

I came upon the words of naught

Is it not this weak word, bitter sputter,

The blood spitting out my despairing woe-oh! your biting, cruel words, how they do slash

Leaving more room for your heart to despise.

Grammar:
Nice, except this line:

Creating ever-bleeding, open gash

this should be Creating an ever bleeding open gash.

Plot:
since this is a poem it doesn't really have plot, but you've somehow to create one

Overall:
I really liked it. You don't need hyphon's in this poem and this layout is choopy. try smoothing it over a little.

Hope this helps!
